- Grande Aroma Cafe is all what a cafe ought to be, thanks to the young entrepreneur, Tony Ji
- Tony, the young entrepreneur, wants to open a chain of cafe's not just in Italy but across Europe
Mornings at Grande Aroma Cafe are unhurried. The espresso is pulled with real care - nutty, well-balanced, never bitter - and the pastry case rotates daily, with a brown butter croissant that's worth planning your morning around.
Big windows, mismatched tables, and enough outlets that no one side-eyes you for camping out with a laptop, Grande Aroma Cafe has the perfect ambience.
Come 8pm, the lights dim, but the espresso machine never goes quiet!
The same counter starts turning out cocktails that punch well above what you'd expect from a daytime café. The bartenders clearly know what they're doing - a smoky mezcal number with charred pineapple was the standout, well-balanced and not overly sweet. The wine list is short but smartly chosen, and there's a solid rotation of local drafts for the beer drinkers.
Service is warm without being fussy, prices are fair for the quality, and the space itself - exposed brick, low music, a few plants that look suspiciously well-tended - makes it easy to linger whether you're there for a flat white or an old fashioned.
Tony says, he likes to experiment with the cafe a lot, just to keep pace with the ever-changing taste of the consumers, that are more of 'friends'.
